In that part of the world, I know Algeria because of it's size, Morocco because of it's location, and Senegal/The Gambia because of the weird Pac-Man thing they got going on. I would probably fail miserably labeling the rest
Almost everything I know about geography and history I learned from Animaniacs... so.

Sort of spoiler alert!

We went to it Friday Night. I was entertained but really wish I didn't try to figure out certain things that didn't make sense. The 12-year-old thought it was silly. "The girl screamed too much and why did she go to bed when she's being chased by dinosaurs." I love over-the-top cheesy special effects (I like the scene in the one Die hard move where Bruce Willis takes out a helicopter with a car). Therefore, I enjoyed the scene where the good dinosaur and the bad dinosaur are fighting on the roof, they crash through the roof, the bad dinosaur is impaled on the horns of the dinosaur fossil and the good dinosaur doesn't even lose her balance while landing on the impaled bad dinosaur.
I have not seen it yet. Use the spoiler tags!!!
 
KC, did your goats come yet, to clear out the underbrush?

Sprinkles today but no real rain yet. Des Moines get some street flooding and now it's a big deal. Nothing against D.M. but all kinds of flooding has been over most of the state for at least the last couple of weeks.

KCs getting goats? Only one person in my area that I ever knew that raised goats. Not including any Judas goats.

Got called for jury duty this week. Show up at the courthouse, turns out it's a murder case.....a young (32) man I know was shot and killed in the wee hours - down in the flats, for those of you who know FD - after an argument over a card game.

There were numerous witnesses, but an arrest wasn't made until December (the shooting occurred last September). So there are 100+ of us in the courtroom all day long listening to the prosecuting attorney go through voir dire on a couple dozen prospective jurors, asking them things like have they ever been impacted by a murder, do they have a concealed weapons permit, had they ever drawn down on someone, etc.

Have to go back again today, hopefully they will get the jury empaneled and I can go back to my life again. If they had called me, I would have told them I was acquainted with the victim (which I was), and I might have been excused. :(
 
Car needs an oil change so I go to the dealer website to see what deals they have going on. End up spending 20 minutes looking at a newer car before reminding myself that would not be a smart move.

Take this quiz about a dozen times in a row and you will surprise yourself at how much you will learn. Just be sure to pay attention when you get one wrong and it places it for you.

I struggle with Africa too so I try to do this occasionally so I am not the typical American who knows nothing about most of the world.

I did it twice and it wasn't pretty. I honestly can locate about 5-6 I was close in about 40%
